Music Reviews
T.I. feat. Keri Hilson - Got Your Back (Music)
This music features T.I. and the gorgeous and talented Keri Hilson singing Got Your Back. This music is really cute and it’s perfect for couples. The music is all about a guy and his girl staying together whether they’re rich or they’re poor and whether it’s up or downs …
Sia - Bird Set Free (Song)
Yes, that’s the real artwork for Sia’s newly debuted song titled “Bird Set Free”. She’s been getting weirder and weirder as she’s deeper into her career, now she’s refusing to have a camera in front of her face. Her album covers and live performances are so weird to be …
“Scream” by Chris Cornell
This is another of Chris Cornell’s solo albums but very different from anything he has ever done before. He worked with Timbaland on this, so already you’ll know it doesn’t sound like Soundgarden, Audioslave or even his other previous solo work.
I’m a huge Chris Cornell fan, so I …
Lord I Believe In You by Crystal Lewis (MP3)
Lord I believe in You is a song popularized by Crystal Lewis. I have a copy of this song of hers. A friend shared to me her MP3 of this popular song of Crystal Lewis. The copy is very clear and vivid.
What would I say of this song? Well …
Should’ve said no
should’ve said no by Taylor Swift is a beautiful song about how this guy cheated on his girl friend and he now realizes he should’ve said no. It just shows how we are all human and at times we do things spur of the moment with out thinking who …
3 Doors Down The Better Life
This is 3 doors down’s first major label album released in 2000 on Universal Records. You could call this album post grunge I guess, there are heavy parts but it’s not really a heavy album. Singles include Kryptonite Loser, and Be Like That. The album is a really interesting …
Rudimentary Peni: “Farce” (1981, EP)
Rudimentary Peni released “Farce” the same year as their debut self titled EP. I really enjoyed their first release, however with this one I am not so impressed. With that being said, every RP record is excellent and above par for punk, and this one is no exception. I …
Radiohead - Bullet Proof… I Wish I Was (Song)
Bullet Proof—¦ I Wish I Was is a song by Radiohead which appears on their second record, The Bends. The song opens up with some noise effects before an acoustic guitar pattern comes in and Yorke ultimately comes in for the first verse of the track. Yorke’s vocal delivery …
Kanye West
If this is graduation it’s from a 2 year school. The sampling and tired metaphors from kanye west is old. Rap is about bravado but kanye is that times ten. He not only tell u he’s the best at rapping every other sentence he also mentions he’s the best …
Eminem - Love The Way You Lie - Music Video and Single
I think this is another great effort from Eminem and it had a great music video to go with it. Most men would love this simply because he has used both Megan Fox and Rhianna in this video but there are deeper meanings for those who wish to look.
Eminem …
Postal Service
If you love the sound of Death Cab For Cutie, then you’ll enjoy Ben Gibbards otehr project The Postal Service. What makes the postal service a little different than deathcab is the electronic sound and beats within their songs. In most cases the songs could not be recreasted in …

Kings of Leon
I first heard about Kings of Leon right around when they came on the scene which, I believe, was back in 2005. The first video I saw of theirs was “Four Kicks”. I liked the song’s kind of punchy, in your face sound, and the video was all around …
Shadows fall the metal band
The Shadows fall band is all hype and I do not know what the big deal with them is. Shadows Falls really has no good songs out there and quit frankly at first they were all metal and than they thought they had talent so they tried to sound …
Within Temptation & Metropole Orchestra - Black Symphony
Make way for the new symphonic metal that will replaced Nightwish (after Tarja’s leaving the band to pursue a solo career it’s not a cool band anymore..). This dvd contains power-packed performance by the band. If you had seen The Silent Force Tour dvd you’ll be more mesmerised to …
Mule Variations (Tom Waits Album)
“Mule Variations,” though maybe not his most appreciated album, is probably in my top five by Tom Waits. It’s gritty, folk-based, but not really limited to genre. While not every track did it for me, the ones that did nailed it. And of course, with any album by Waits, …
True Grit (2010 Film)
True Grit is a 2010 film directed by the Coen Brothers which stars Jeff Bridges as a United States marshal hired by a fourteen year old girl, Mattie Ross, to help her track down the killer of her father, Tom Chaney. In more recent months, it seems as if …
Brokenheartsville - Joe Nichols
“Brokenheartsville” is a song by country music artist Joe Nichols. Joe Nichols has been active on the music scene for over 10 years now and has had such hits as “I Will Wait For You” and “Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall off” However, in my opinion, this song stands …
The Flaming Lips - Pilot Can At The Queer Of God (Song)
Pilot Can At The Queer Of God is a song by The Flaming Lips which appears on their album Transmissions From The Satellite Heart. Although the opening riff of the track has a surprisingly heavy feel to it, Coyne surprisingly comes in with a vocal delivery which works with …
“Project 1950″ by The Misfits (LP, 2003)
By 2003, the new re-incarnation of The Misfits had already released two albums that proved to be successful in putting the Misfits name and music, new and old, back into popularity. Four years after releasing “Famous Monsters”, which contained some of their best material since their days with Glenn …
Beautiful Lady (song by, Gyptian)
Gyptian is a reggae artist who seems new on the scene but he really isn’t that new, he has been doing a lot of collaborations but he recently released his first single with the name entitled “Beautiful Lady.”
I first heard this song on the local radio airwaves and it …

If youre looking to get a great tone for your band, cover band or just for personal music use and dont have 2000 bucks to get a marshall or evh 5150 amp. A great choice would be the modeling amp from Roland called the Vga-5. It is packed with …
System Of A Down - Toxicity (Music Video)
Overview —“ Toxicity, a third music video released by System Of A Down for their second album of the same name is pretty much a performance music video but it has a few twists thrown into it. Rather than be a straight performance video, certain sections of this music …
Sledding With Tigers - The 405 (Song)
The 405 (Is For Lovers?) is a song by Sledding With Tigers and is the opening track to their debut release, No Randy No. Opening up with a simple chord pattern strummed by several acoustic guitars, the vocals of the track come in after about twenty-five seconds with a …
Labi Siffre - Something Inside So Strong - Single
Sometimes in life we have conflict with those we never dreamed that we would. They are not nice times but we strive to get through them and after a turbulent 12 months I listened to this song and it made so much sense to me.
With the performer being male …
Halsey - New Americana song
One of my most anticipated album release this year is probably Halsey’s “BADLANDS”. Just so you guys know, BADLANDS is a concept album that talks about the bad sides of a human being, hence the title.
Halsey (real name Ashley) is an up and coming artist, she’s mostly alternative …
“Bad Brains” by Bad Brains LP (1982)
It was a common occurrence in the ’80s where a punk band’s first release is probably their best, no matter how many records they release afterwords or how long they stay together. They may release a lot of amazing records, but nothing can top their first. This holds true …
Bob Dylan - Canadee-i-o (Song)
Canadee-i-o is a traditional song arranged and performed by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Good As I Been To You. The track starts off with an acoustic guitar part as Dylan comes in with the vocals of the track. The thing that I’m noticing about Dylan’s voice …
The Unforgettable Fire, 1984 Album by U2
After the very successful album War, released in 1983, U2 have managed to release another great record so quickly afterwards. I think that this album, The Unforgettable Fire was an album which escalated their skill and level as musicians. I think that this 1984 album demonstrated how much and …
Dolores O’Riordan - Are You Listening? (2007)
After The Cranberries disbanded in 2002 the bandmembers went back to being with their families, and it took a while until some of them showed any sign of life. Dolores O’Riordan kept a low-profile for several years, she appeared here and there, did some collaborations until she decided to …
Nine Inch Nails - Down In It (Music Video)
Overview —“ Down In It, the first single and music video released by Nine Inch Nails for their debut record, Pretty Hate Machine, takes the chaos of the song and matches it with a video. Although this sounds appealing, at least to me, the execution in the music video …
Reason to Believe by Rod Stewart
Reason to Believe is a song about someone being so in love with someone else that he wants to believe in that person no matter how many lies they have told nor how much the other person breaks their heart. Rod Stewart has several versions of the song, every …
His Silent Film - Lower Definition
Rock music seems to have sprouted an absolute ton of different genres over the years, and one of these more current genres is the mixing of a metal like sound with a younger, almost pop sounding singer. Most of the time, it creates music that seems out of place …
Emily Elbert - Proof Album
The first thing i want to say about this album is that i can’t believe that this girl is only twenty one years of age. Her professionalism, her songwriting skills and especially her guitar playing show a definite wisdom beyond her years and her new album is something i …
Club Cant Handle Me- Flo Rida Feat. David Guetta
Being on the hot new “Step Up 3d” movie, everyone knew the music in that movie had to be great and want to you get up, start dancing! This song is by far the one of the most amazing dance song out right now! I can totally see them …
Diggin Up Bones by Randy Travis
Digging Up Bones is one of the songs that Randy Travis does that really hits home with me. You see, to me the song is about a love that has ended but that I was not ready to end. When I was sixteen I met a man that was …
Machine Head - The Blackening (Album, 2007)
The Blackening is metal legends Machine Head’s sixth offering to the “Djent” scene.
The production is much more polished than previous albums, and the overall sound is crisper, and tighter. The band have definitely stepped up a notch in terms of technical ability and musicianship with this offering, and as …
NO DIRECTION HOME,BOB DYLAN
I was surprised to see Star Buck’s Coffee Shop selling C.D.’s. I was more surprised to find the Martin Scorsese Soundtrack of ‘No Direction Home’, with Bob Dylan’s music, there. I bought one, in a hurry! In the 60’s, I was in high school, going to college, getting married, …
Metallica - Devil’s Dance (Song)
Devil’s Dance is a track by Metallica which appears on their second half of the double-record, Reload. I will be honest and admit that for the most part, I don’t like too many of the tracks on either Load or Reload, but I will say that I believe Devil’s …
Clumsy by Fergie
Clumsy by fergie on her album the dutchess came out in two thousand and six. This song is about how a girl falls in love and is clumsy about it. I like the sound effects they use in this song. This song is a good song for any …
Twilight Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
The soundtrack for the movie Twilight fits the story perfectly. It is one of my favorite CDs in my own collection. I am very picky about my music. Prior to listening to this soundtrack, I only knew of two bands that were listed.
The first time I heard the …
The Game : “The Doctors Advorcate”
The second cd by rapper “The Game” was titled “The Doctors Advorcate” but the title was deceptive since it included no tracks which were actually produced by Doctor Dre. The cd included the single “One Blood” which became a hit on the streets of New York and LA almost …
Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday album
Nicki Minaj’s first release, Pink Friday, is probably the worst music purchase of my life. I bought the album sometime late last year in anticipation of it having “Knockout”, my favorite Nicki Minaj song, on it. You know the drill: I got to the store, couldn’t remember the name …

Artist: Beyonce ft. Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, and Solange Knowles
Video: “Get Me Bodied”
Album: B-Day
Label: Columbia
Director: Beyonce and Anthony Mandler
“Get Me Bodied” has to be the most overblown, over-hyped, over-saturated, and simply over-the-top music videos that Beyonce has ever done. It’s literally so over the top that it is ridiculous …
Scars On Broadway - Insane (Song)
Insane is a track by Scars On Broadway which appears on their self-titled debut record which came out a few years ago. Unlike the previous two tracks, Exploding/Reloading and Stoner-Hate, Insane is much more similar to Funny because it’s very moderately paced and it features Malakian singing in a …
